What is the meaning of Revelation 19:2? For His judgments are true and just • Everything God does lines up perfectly with truth and fairness (Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalm 19:9; Revelation 15:3–4). • His standards never shift, so believers can rest in the certainty that every verdict He issues will be both accurate and equitable (Psalm 96:13). • In the setting of Revelation 19, the heavenly multitude celebrates because God’s righteous character has been openly displayed after a long season of human rebellion (Revelation 11:17–18). He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality • The “great prostitute” is the symbol of Babylon, the worldwide system of godless idolatry, materialism, and moral pollution (Revelation 17:1–5; 18:2–3). • Her influence is global—she “corrupted the earth,” drawing nations into spiritual adultery and practical wickedness (Isaiah 24:5; Jeremiah 51:7). • God’s judgment on this system is final, decisive, and deserved, fulfilling earlier warnings: – “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!” (Revelation 14:8). – “Pay her back as she has paid, and double unto her double” (Revelation 18:6). • The fall of Babylon proves that no culture, empire, or economy exalting itself against God will escape His scrutiny (Daniel 4:35). He has avenged the blood of His servants that was poured out by her hand • The persecution of God’s people has been a recurring theme since Genesis 4; every drop of innocent blood cries out for justice (Genesis 4:10; Matthew 23:35). • Earlier, the martyrs under the altar asked, “How long, O Lord…until You avenge our blood?” (Revelation 6:9–10). Revelation 19:2 shows that the waiting period ends; vengeance is now executed (2 Thessalonians 1:6; Deuteronomy 32:43). • By vindicating His servants, God publicly affirms their faithfulness and silences every accusation against them (Isaiah 54:17; Romans 8:33–34). • This act also warns would-be persecutors that harming the church ultimately invites divine retribution (Acts 9:4–5; Proverbs 21:13). summary Revelation 19:2 proclaims the triumphant moment when God’s flawless justice is displayed. He proves Himself true and fair, dismantles the corrupt world system that lured nations into sin, and repays every injustice done to His people. The verse assures believers that righteousness will prevail, evil will be crushed, and every sacrifice for Christ will be honored forever. |
